Dr. Pardeep S. Chauhan

Abstract :

The objective of the power sector reforms in Haryana was to restore and ensure the sustainable creditworthiness of the power industry and to create an environment which would attract investments needed to meet the growing power demand, promote competition, efficiency and economy, and facilitate development of power sector. The paper discusses the restructuring programme aimed at restoring financial viability of power utilities so that the State Government is relieved of the burden of providing subsidies to cover their losses and to make the power sector a generator of net resources for the State and capable of arranging its investment requirements on its own strength. To achieve these objectives, the ‘Haryana Electricity Reform Act, 1997’ was enacted. This Act provided for the constitution of an Electricity Regulatory Commission, restructuring of the electricity sector and the creation of avenues for consumer participation with a view to aid the regulatory and reform process.
